paying a bill against an invoice

To address this, you need to create an invoice and a bill to record the products supplied by your customer, Laurienmac13. This type of exchange is referred to as a barter transaction, since you and your supplier trade goods or services.

Before recording the transaction, ensure that your customer is listed as both a supplier for the bill and a customer for the invoice. Since QuickBooks doesn't permit identical names on both lists, you'll need to modify one of the names slightly to make it distinct. Here’s how:
 

1. Go to the Chart of Accounts.
2. Click on New to set up a new account.
3. From the Account Type dropdown menu, choose Bank.
4. In the Detail Type dropdown menu, select the correct type of account.
5. Provide the desired name for the account.
6. Click Save.
